I like the way this man thinks!! (Speaking as a fat specky bastard obv)

Ive just had a very depressing thought. Imagine how good Jonas would have been if he had had Keegan as a manager hes exactly the sort of player Keegan would turn into a world beater

Yup it was just so much better before the big money. A workmanlike Championship selling club. I'm talking about players coming here because they want to play for a particular manager/a developing football team-as opposed to coming here simply to put another 20k on their weekly salary. Wrong of you to assume I'm saying strong finances and player ambition are mutually exclusive concepts too by the way. Clearly I don't say that. And how is getting relegated going to help any of that? Read my original post. In the context of a thread speculating what will happen if we go down, I decided I would try and be positive about one particular issue, which I see as being important. Relegation is likely to bring an end to several, utterly absurd contracts, meaning that when we start negotiating new deals (as we must) we can do this by offering terms which better serve the interests of the club. In doing so so it is far easier to make it clear to incoming players that, similarly, they are here to serve the interests of the club. To wit, that there be more emphasis on this aspect of the transaction than the fuck-off sky high weekly salary routinely on offer which has made us a complete anomoly amongst the bottom half clubs, without any marked progress for several years, and which gives the new player every indication that we are a total fucking joke. I'm not glorying in going down, but if you can't grasp this positive from it then you might as well consign us to the first and then the second division an all. Spending big as we go though, if that offers any consollation to you. Is it though - arent we going to be paying out the same money to the same losers that we are now. Viduka and Owen will be off the roll, well still have Smith Duff Capaca and the rest coining it in for being shite

Have you people even looked at Stokes home record? The look at their away record and remember that we didnt manage to beat them at home Now look at our away record. Hull away, they will be flying after snatching a win and releasing the pressure They've beaten us twice already this season, this has come at the perfect time for them. We will be pointless until Portsmouth

On account of the height he could jump and head the ball with great accuracy, The Mighty Wyn, my all time hero, great man and very humble. Wyn the leap scored the first goal I ever saw for the lads, a towering header against Man City in front of the Leazes. I seem to remember the Leaazes chanting Wyn Wyn Wyn at every corner

It's because we fell in love with a bunch of cool black gangsters, and were then given some poor white-ass motherfuckers. I grew to love them all the same though. Especially Nicky. Ziggy was a bit of a knobhead and I can't believe that anyone would rank a character below him in the "Worst Character" awards. I still think the Barksdale stuff was good in Season 2 and set up a lot of the stuff that would be so great in Season 3. This thread has made me want to watch them all through again now. I agree completely, esp Ziggy. S2 also introduced "the greek" and Nicky's wife's awesome breasts to the show. There was loads of great McNulty stuff, esp the lengths he went to screw Rawls, and the hooker scene. The closing montage was for me one of the most powerful parts of the whole 5 seasons. I dont know if it caught me in a particularly bleak moment, but the feeling of futility and despair it gave did for me completely. I was ok til the wife said what happened - I said "nothing" and found myself weeping uncontrollably. As I said earlier in the thread FX are showing one ep a week from Mon at 11pm. I am looking forward to savouring one episode a week.

You say that but you, like me, are a white english middle class bloke who works in an office. I dont think we can really vouch for the reality of the drug trade in the Baltimore ghetto. On the other hand Ive worked in a corporate environment, and the arselicking cheaters get on, and the bosses are only interested in driving down costs and increasing productivity.(I was at our quarterly management meeting last week, we were getting the yearly targets and md was spelling out what was required. I said so basically you want more from less. Nobody got it) The serial killer arc was a stretch at times maybe, but no more so than "Amsterdam" running undiscovered for so long or Omar being able to survive hails of bullets hiding behind a couch and jumping out 5th floor windows The thing for season five for me was it felt we were hearing David Simon's views on the newspaper industry a bit too loudly. I get it; the Newspaper (industry) isnt as good it used to be, but thats more down to the internet & 24 hour news tv than the corporate rulers of America. The previous series were about big themes, big out of control corrupt institutions, the police,the political system, education, the unions and how they failed the people who they were supposed to help, and destroyed the people who worked in them To me the Newspaper didnt seem important enough to hang a series on.

“He’s invested a huge amount of money in it and he doesn’t want to fail.” The only phrase I beleive in the article, if by fail he means not make a profit on investment. -

It's been boring for ages now iyam. Not a new / recent thing. tbh the match was mainly dull with breif bursts of not so dull for years before kk turned up as manager. The last three months of "that season" wasnt boring but was the least enjoyable period of football Ive ever experienced. I think I enjoyed the day most when the football was gray and depressing, but the day out was always great
-
This echoes my experience exactly - my brother was there(in the stands thank fuck) and I was at WHL which was terrifying. It was the nature of football fans in those days,but Liverpool had so many big games in those days that their fans were more adept at bunking in than anyone else.

Ashley to try to halt season ticket sale decline...
spongebob toonpants replied to smoggeordie's topic in Newcastle Forum
That is the truly frightening thing - the depth of incompetence that keeps being demonstrated by Ashley Llambias Wise, whichever of them is making decisions is astounding. There seems to be absolutely no understanding of our position, what is needed for the future or how to get there. Leadership is completely absent, no one is responsible for anything, and the recent attempts at communication have been almost worse than the silence that preceeded it. I genuinely am worried for the future of the club, probably more so if Ashley isnt trying to asset strip and turn a profit. If he thinks the current situation and management of it is anywhere near satisfactory he is completely deluded
